So I just upgraded my fish tank to a 10g and bought three platies. Two of them are swimming around and acting pretty normal from what I can tell. However, one of them is just hanging out at the top of the tank in one corner. Could it be stress from the move from the store?

I have yet to move my Betta to the 10g-- I hear that they sometimes work with Platies and I wanted to try it out. If not, I'll just return them and get some neons.

Does this seem normal at all or should I be worried?
 
What are the tank's parameters (ammonia, nitrite, nitrate)? Did you cycle the tank first before putting the fish in? If not, I'd guess ammonia poisoning is the issue.
